Energy Audit

The gentleman that did our audit for the energy rebate was polite and honest. He told us what was needed to receive maximum rebate. Once completed on our end he returned for the assessment the day after we called. This was amazing prompt service. A receipt was provided with a detailed summary of what we will receive. Friendly honest star five service, thank you!

Solid Results

I hired BSG to do a home energy audit. They were available to come within a day or two. The assessor had good advice, and after the follow up audit was completed we got as much back in government rebates as we had hoped for. They were also prompt in answering all of my emailed questions before, between and after the audit.

Home Energy Audit

The office staff was great. The inspector was difficult to get a hold of and was tardy in getting reports out which caused delays in projects and we missed deadlines. The report took two months to receive

Attic and basement insulation

The process was lengthy, in terms of assessments and getting things started, but once things were in place, the actual work done and installers were great. Came in with 3 installers, with the basement work (insulation installed with vapour barrier on exterior walls) done first. Once completed, the attic was then done. The installers were personable and friendly, and did a good job keeping things as clean as possible, as I had just installed new flooring in the basement and kitchen areas.

Full House Reno

I took on a major renovation to rent out a century home that I recently bought. I wanted to take advantage of the rebates I could get from union gas, so i found Barrier Sciences Group and they were very prompt and accommodating in their service. Tyler was a pleasure to work with and maximized my rebate. I would recommend him to anyone!

air sealing and insulating

I found out shortly after purchasing my home that there was no insulation or very little throughout the house which caused for a very cold winter. After researching this program I was able to get a lot more work done on the house and hopefully this winter will be a little more comfortable. The Rep came in and gave me a very detailed list of what can be done to get the most bang for my buck. Once I had a list of what should be done and what the rebate program would cover I was in a much better position to decide what projects to start with. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking at saving heating costs.

Home Renovation Tax Credit

The home inspector that came out was very professional, was attentive to our needs and had information to backup all claims. He was very knowledgeable and was able to address all concerns and questions we had. We would recommend his services to any homeowner looking to have an inspector come out for the home renovation tax credit assessment.

Basement Renovation - Energy Audit

Professional and respectful technician. Reviewed current energy situation and suggested multiple energy upgrades both associated with energy rebates and other. Prompt review once renovation complete and quick turn around on paperwork. I had a nice rebate cheque much sooner than advertised. Thank you.

Energy Audit - windows, doors and insulation

I had spoken to another company before Barrier Sciences. Barrier Sciences is far more knowledgeable. I was very impressed in how thorough he was. Took his time and really did a great job in getting me a nice rebate. It took longer to get the cheque then what he expected but that is not his fault. That has to do with Union Gas. I will be calling again for renovation 2 in a couple of years.
